. CONTAINER.

Application led September 14, 1922. Serial No. 538,134.

My invention 'relates to containers and- The container of my `invention possessesl all of these advantages and others which will be evident upon a consideration of the accompanying drawings and specification.A

By means of the particular arrangement of parts of my device, I amable to present a container4 without loss of interior space, thus producing a most compact device,while `containing a plurality of' d iierent powder compacts, a plurality of powder puii's and a plurality of mirrors, all arranged for their most practical and efficient employment.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating one form of the device of my invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals. v Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my device in closedposition.

Figure?. is a top plan view of Figure 1 with the top and bottom in open position.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of Figure l with the top, bottom and mirror carrier in open position;

Figure 4 is a section through the' line 4-4 of Figure 1 l The particular container of my invention, shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a bottom 10 having a peripheral upwardly extended flange 11, the upper p0rtion of which` isf slightly inset at. 12 and carries the extended catch member'13.

Hingedly lattached to the bottom flange extended iiange 16v ,capable of telescopic placement over the inset-12 of the bottom member, the catch member 17 coacting with the catch member 13 to .prevent the accidental opening of 'the container.- The central vportion of the top .15 is domed outward-` 11 at 14 is a top lhaving a peripherally carrying member comprising the annular element 27 having an annular opening,28 and the annular opening 31 and carrying the linger catch 32. A catch member 33, carried by thev element 29, is ,capable of placement through the opening 24 of the member 22, when the device lsvinclosed Hingedly attached at 23 to one side of. .the annular element 22 isan annular mirror' position, to lprevent accidental movement lof the mirror carrying member. The angular formati-on of the mirror carrying member formed by the elements 29, 30 fits snugly within the angular space of the top .formed by the elements 21, 22. A fixed guard plate 34 prevents the displacementof the hinge 26. Mirrors 35 and 36 are carried by the mirror carrying member. An annular face powdercompact 37 preferably White, is aftixed to the annular supporting plate 38, which, in turn, `is affixed to thel inner face of the' bottom 10' by means of 'cementitious material 39.

An annular face powder compact 40, preierably rouge, is ailixed to the annular sup porting plate 41, which, in turn, is ailixed to the top dome 18by means of cementitious material 42.

Powder pulis 43 and 44 are loosely carried by the container.

In operation, the container is .opened by revolving the top upwardly from the bottom upon the'hinge 14, thus exposing the powder puit 43, the white powder compact 37 and the mirror 36. When it is desired to employ the rouge, `the mirror container is revolved around the hinge 26, thus'exposing the powder puit 44, the rouge 40 and -the mirror 35.

An examination of the drawingsand particularly vFig-ure 4, illustrates the compactness of the device and the eticiency employment of the inside area for the purposes for which it is designed.`

As all of the parts, with the powder pus, are strongly an Alixedl'y attached to each other,fthedevice is capable kof receiving repeated use without the danger of'injury incidentthereto', and the arrangethe exce tion yof.

ment of the .mirrorsis such that one or lthe other is presented in proper vposition for use Vwith each of the powder compacts.

My device, therefore, presents a new,

novel and useful means for the economic and eltcient accomplishment of the desired res ts. Y

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number or arrangement of parts, as shown iii the drawings, and described, as these are given simply as a-means for the clear description of my invention.

lVhat I claim is l. In a powder compact container, in corribination, a bottom, a top hingedly attached to the bottom, an annular member within the to and spacedv 'from the top, an opening within the annular member, a mirror-carrying member hingedly attached to the annular member and oppositely exposed mirrors carried by the mirror-carrying member.

2. In a powder compact container, in coinbination, a bottom having an upwardly extended flange, the upper portion ot' which is offset, a top hingedly attached to the bottom and having an extended annular flange, an'

annular member within the top spaced from the inner face of the top and from the top flange to allow of the telescopic positioning of t e top flange and the bottom flange, a comparatively small opening within the annular member opening into the space between the annular member and the top, a mirror carrier hingedly attached to the annular member of smaller diameter than the top and oppositely exposed mirrors carried by the mirror carrier.

3. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom having an upwardly extended flange, the upper portion of which is offset, a top hingedly attached to the bottom and having an extended annular flange, an annular member within the top spaced from the inner face of the to and from the top flange to allow of' thete escopic positioning of the top flange and the bottom flange, a comparatively small opening within the annular member opening into the space between the annular member and the top, a mirror carrier of smaller diameter than the top hingedly attached to the annular member so positioned that a mirror carried by the mirror carrier can be inserted within the opening of the annular member and oppositely exposed mirrors carried by the mirror carrier.

4. In a powder compact container, 1n combination, a bottom having `an upwardly extended flange, the upper portion of which is offset, a top hingedly attached to the bottom and having an extended annular flange, an annular member within the top spaced from the inner face of the top and from the top flange to allow of the telescopic positioning' of the top flange and the bottom flange, a comparatively small opening within the annular member opening into the space between the annular member and the top, a mirror carrier of smaller,` diameter than the top hingedly attached to the annulai' member so positioned that a. mirror carried by tho rnirror carrier can be inserted within the opening of the annular member, the mirror carrier when closed not cxtending beyond the top flange.

In a powder compact container, iii combination. a bottom, a top having an annular side flange hingedly attached to the bottom, an annular member carried by and within the top and spaced from the top, a comparatively small opening in the annular member, a mirror carrier of smaller dialneter than the top hingedly attached to the device, a mirror capable of insertion within the annular opening carried by the mirror carrier and a larger mirror carried by the opposite side of the mirror carrier.

6.v In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom capable of containing a powder compact having an upwardly extended side flange, a. top having an annular side flange hingedly attached to the bottoni, an annular member carried by and within the top and spaced from the top, forming a space capable of containing a second smaller powder compact, a comparatively small opening in the annular member, a hingedly attached mirror carrier of smaller diameter than the top, a mirror capable of insertion within the annular opening carried by the mirror carrier and a larger mirror carried by the opposite side of the mirror carrier.

7. In a powder compact container, in conibination, a bottom capable of containing a powder compact having an upwardly extended side flange, a. top having an annular side flange hingedly attached to the bottom, an annular member carried by and within the top and spaced from the domed' top, forming a space capable of containing a second smaller powder compact, a comparatively small opening in the annular member, a mirror carrier of lsmaller diameter than the top hingedly attached to the top, approximately opposite the top and bottom hinge, a mirror capable of insertion within the annular opening carried by the mirror carrier and a larger mirror carried by the opposite side of the mirror carrier.
